A broad band cholesteric liquid crystal film of the present invention
comprises a cholesteric liquid crystal film obtained by polymerizing a
liquid crystal mixture containing a polymerizable mesogen compound (a), a
polymerizable chiral agent (b) and a photopolymerization initiator (c)
between two substrates with ultraviolet light, and has a reflection
bandwidth of 200 nm or more. The broad band cholesteric liquid crystal
film of the present invention has a broad reflection band and is
excellent in durability.
